In a twist worthy of a bad political sitcom, New York election officials are now being prodded to investigate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for potential voter fraud. It turns out that this self-styled political heir, who once ran as an independent for president, may have cast his ballot from a palatially discredited address in the fancy suburbs of New York City. This begs the question: is this yet another case of rules being selectively applied, or just the latest in a long line of Democrat election antics?
Accountable.US, a progressive watchdog group—read: liberal thought police—has stepped in to demand a thorough investigation into Kennedy’s mail-in voting habits. They claim he cast his vote while registered at an address a state judge deemed a “sham.” That same judge booted Kennedy off the presidential ballot last summer, ruling that his rented room in Katonah was nothing more than a convenient fiction to maintain the façade of a New York residence—while the man himself was comfortably ensconced in California with his Hollywood wife, Cheryl Hines. Because nothing screams “grounded in the community” like a Hollywood marriage and ballots cast from the lap of luxury.
The formal complaint really takes the cake. It insists that Kennedy, who has shown a remarkable knack for brazen disregard of facts, knowingly used the disallowed address to vote by mail in the last election. Apparently, the man who descends from a long line of political heavyweights thinks he can play fast and loose with the rules, like he’s in a never-ending game of Monopoly. Despite the judge’s verdict, Kennedy moved forward as if nothing had happened, apparently believing that being a Kennedy allows one to shimmy through life while ignoring legalities.
Now, Kennedy finds himself in a rather interesting predicament. He’s nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services under President-elect Donald Trump—a role that should be a breeze if public health were only about talking people into taking their vitamins. However, one can only imagine how the confirmation hearings will go, especially considering Kennedy’s controversial anti-vaccine stance. It’s almost as if he’s auditioning for the role of chief villain in a health-centric sitcom.

And while the election enforcement division in New York receives requests for commentary—like they don’t have anything better to do—Kennedy continues to spin yarns about his dubious living arrangements. His claim of renting a space in a friend’s home while actually never using it (because campaigning is hard work, apparently) might win him a Best Supporting Actor award in the theatre of public life. But for those more grounded in reality, it serves as another reminder of the ‘rules for thee but not for me’ mentality that seems to infect certain spheres of politics.
As New York struggles to keep up with its own election integrity, one must wonder how the clock is ticking down on Kennedy’s aspirations. Will he slide into a high-profile government position, or will he be greeted by a chorus of applause and laughter as New Yorkers point out the absurdity of a vote cast from a fictitious address? Meanwhile, the real question looms: how many more “public servants” are out there ready to play by their own set of rules?
